SA has a number of first-class poultry producers, as well as favourable trade agreements with the EU, the bulk of which are duty-free
Exports are among the foremost pillars of SA’s poultry masterplan, which was agreed upon almost two years ago, yet chicken exports are virtually nonexistent. Other than some exports to neighbouring countries and to the Middle East, our total annual chicken exports are embarrassing.
Instead of going all out to penetrate these markets, we spend millions on one investigation after another aimed at nullifying chicken imports via increased tariffs, paid for by our impoverished, long-suffering consumers. It seems it’s easier to eliminate imports and fill the gaps than expend the efforts to grow our market share.
